I like that it's able to infer information from the context of the cells, e.g. being able to run a query across continents when the data only contains the country.
Being able to ask it to interpret the results is helpful, it would be cool if it automatically told you if there was enough data to have statistical significance in the conclusions it was presenting.
in private consortiums, instead of having data locked up in silos across organisations, everyone can have a copy of the data and build their own view on top of it.
you don't have to trust any party as to the authenticity of the data as you can see every change that has been made.
My understanding is that Trump's trade war was apart of the America First economic policy to reduce the US trade deficit. This had the added benefit of making manufacturing more viable in the US.
I found the thought process of trying to make the predictions quite rewarding to go through, it will be interesting to look back in 10 years and see how close or not they are
Long term transaction data and browsing history could be used to train a federated learning algorithm to generate search results.
Getting access to that data to understand what stories it can tell is difficult ask without offering a lot of value in return.
In the short term I believe providing insights into a persons finances is the way to provide that value.
E.g. if you have an extra $5k how do your circumstances change if you

- pay extra on your mortgage
- buy solar
- contribute to your 401k / retirement savings
or showing how changes in spending alters the amount of pretax money you need to earn to support your lifestyle.
or how does your spending compare to people like you?

Not being a holder of a unique resource is a good point.
Google do have the mind share though, can you imagine trying to explain to Aunty Robyn that you have to type duckduckgo.com into the search bar now? and that she cant google it anymore?
it was, and it sent a strong message to other big companies that Google doesn't care who you are. This is Google's playground and if you want to stay in the search index then you play by Google's rules.
For a token fine I would agree. If the scale of the fines where to increase from a level that can be written off as the cost of doing business to something more damaging, I think that could change things. Particularly as we are seeing a rise in nationalist political movements around the world.
Maybe, but if the French government where to send the army into an American companies datacenter, would America stand by? Particularly if tech lobbyists had been contributing heavily to political campaign donations?
